Quality Control Manager

We are looking for a QC Manager to lead our quality department. You will be responsible for ensuring every piece of steel leaving our facility meets project specifications, AWS D1.1 welding codes, and AISC certification standards. Unlike traditional QC roles, we require a manager who is tech-forward, someone who can leverage Tekla to track inspections and manage non-conformance reports (NCRs).

Key Responsibilities

• Quality Management System (QMS): Act as the primary lead for our AISC Certification audits. Maintain, update, and enforce the shop Quality Manual.
• Visual & Dimensional Inspection: Oversee fit-up and final weld inspections.
• Welding Oversight: Manage the Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) and ensure all welders are currently certified (WPQR) for the processes being used.
• Material Traceability: Ensure 100% traceability of heat numbers and Material Test Reports (MTRs) from receiving through to the finished product.
• NDT Coordination: Coordinate third-party Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) including Ultrasonic (UT), Magnetic Particle (MT), and Radiographic (RT) testing as required by the contract.
• Digital Integration: Champion the use of mobile tablets on the shop floor for real-time QC signoffs within the Tekla ecosystem to eliminate paper-trail lags.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Certification: Current AWS Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) status is required.
• Experience: Minimum 5–7 years in structural steel fabrication.
• Tekla Proficiency: Ability to navigate Tekla to pull dimensions, check piece marks, and verify bolt patterns.
• Regulatory Expert: Deep understanding of AISC 360 (Specification for Structural Steel Buildings) and AWS D1.1.
• Leadership: Proven ability to halt production when quality is compromised and coach shop personnel on corrective actions.

If you are passionate about maintaining the highest quality standards in structural fabrication and have a proven track record in quality control management, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.
